[osol-help] SATA controller question

I'm looking at the Rosewill RC-217 as a SATA controller, but it doesn't state that it will support Solaris or Open Solaris. It looks like it uses the SiliconImage SiI3124 driver for it's Linux and OS X implementation. Also it looks like Soalris has support for the the SIL 3124 (http://www.sun.c

Re: [osol-help] [install-discuss] 2009.06 installation from Live CD fails with "alloc: / system full"

John, Thanks for replying. The machine, as it came from HP, has Windows Vista on it. If I understand what you are suggesting, you are saying that the disk, as formatted/partitioned by Windows, is not "right" for OpenSolaris, and has to be repartitioned. Is that correct?

Re: [osol-help] How to run a command at boot

Solaris will still run stuff out of /etc/rc[0-9].d just like any other Unix. It's more fun, and not that hard, to create a service with service manager. I can't remember off the top of my head, but the procedure is well documented. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
